far as President Cleveland is concerned we
would not walk across the street to prevent
his denomination and il the privilege were

We should decline the responsibility. Our
idea Of the function of an editor is that he
should bc entirely free and independent TO
criticise politicians. candidates and Office.
holders of all parties and all factions. He
should nave nothing to do with any set of
selfish politicians this term, next term or
